This picture broke my heart and made me tear up.
This is what the @okcthunder means to the state of Oklahoma.
A child wrote a letter to their dad.
Wishing they could watch a Thunder game together.
Wishing for one more moment that can never come back.
Today, when the Thunder step on that court, it’s bigger than a playoff game.
It’s about a community.
It’s about memory.
It’s about carrying each other forward.
It’s more than basketball.
It’s fathers and daughters. Mothers and sons. Families holding on to something that still connects them.
That’s what people don’t always understand about Oklahoma.
April 19th is not just a date here. It’s something people carry with them.
168 lives taken. Families changed forever.
A pain that never fully leaves, but a strength that never fades.
When I see this chair, and that jersey, and those words, I don’t just see loss. I see love that never disappeared.
Oklahoma doesn’t forget.
#Oklahoma stands together.
And today, we remember.
#ThunderUp

As a Columbia student, I was curious what, specifically, students are protesting. Apparently, it’s because Columbia’s endowment invests in broader market ETFs and big tech stocks.
Every American with a retirement account is invested in big tech. Most of these kids’ parents are invested in (or, possibly work for) these companies.
Disrupting university education and making students feel unsafe because Columbia owns $277k of a BlackRock corporate bond ETF is insane, and, frankly, hypocritical for many involved.
Disrupting a university for owning the S&P 500 implies 1 or 2 things: a misunderstanding of “investing” or a lack of knowledge about what you’re protesting in the first place. I would imagine 90% of those involved aren’t aware of the information in this post.
